  • Group Discussion on civic responsibilities and participation
  • Case Studies: participants are presented with scenarios where individuals exercise their rights responsibly or irresponsibly and then engage in a discussion on the implications.
  • The Town Hall Debate: participants are assigned roles (e.g., community activists, business owners, students, parents) and actively express their opinions on a local issue, practicing freedom of speech, and understanding the dynamics of civil discourse in a democratic society.
